The panels replaced include both lower fenders. rocker panels(inner and outer). the bottom of the front and rear quarter panels. and at the nose of the car underneath the bumpers. Every patch was fully welded solid. After all the rust was fixed the car was stripped down to bare metal and sprayed with a rust prevented primer. The car was completely straightened out so there are no lumps or bumps anywhere. The car was then painted with the beautiful Harley Davidson Deep Turquoise and Birch White color combination using only PPG products. The car does have a flattening agent in the paint that gives the color a nice sheen. but still shines enough to give it the perfect appearance. Along with all that. every piece of rubber on the car is brand new. The bumpers are new. not re-chromed. along with all painted bumper components.
